★★★★★ 5.0 Patrick Schluth · Mar 2026

My wife and I went for dinner, went to an event that we were going to in downtown Newton then went back for dessert. The staff is so so sweet, and for an opening day the restaurant was running like clockwork. I can't wait to visit again and again. On our second visit the owner stopped and chatted with us what a sweet couple.

★★★★★ 5.0 Harold Aldi · Mar 2026

Absolutely amazing experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The tacos were delicious—fresh, flavorful, and some of the best I’ve had in a long time. The drinks were incredible too, easily some of the best around. The staff was super friendly and made us feel very welcome from the moment we walked in. I also loved the atmosphere. The music was great and the decorations were beautiful, giving the whole place a fun and authentic vibe. If you’re looking for great tacos, amazing drinks, and a place with good music and friendly people, this is definitely the spot. I’ll definitely be coming back!

★★★★★ 5.0 Porshia Cosby · Mar 2026

This place has been open like 5 days and we’ve been there 3 times. Every single time has been outstanding. Food is incredible, service prompt and friendly, atmosphere fun and upbeat and very clean. Some of the best carnitas I’ve ever had, and I normally don’t like margaritas, but tried my husbands and it was great. By far the most organized and successful opening of a downtown Newton restaurant that we have been to. GREAT JOB TO OWNERS AND STAFF!
